Last Defenders of Monogamy

Mr. Director have you watched this film after making it. What is your thought on that ? Have you noticed anything?

Have you noticed the story is too predictable, too mundane and scripting is like a high school kid. One more thing this is way too slow paced movie for this kind of genre.

I can go on and on, but I already wasted my time watching this, I don't wanna waste more to write how childish this movie is.

Just one urge, if you can't find any issue with this movie, please stop making films and go retire, At least we will have remnants of great Faroki of the olden movies and dramas.

I am a great supporter of your work. But this is trash. It could have golden, if this work has been released like 25 years ago. Cheers!

"Last Defenders of Monogamy" presents itself as a promising addition to the comedy-romance genre, offering an engaging narrative for the majority of its runtime. However, despite its initial charm, the film stumbles in its third act, delivering a disappointing conclusion that ultimately undermines the enjoyment of the entire viewing experience.

Director Farooki showcases his talent throughout much of the movie, demonstrating a keen eye for storytelling and character development. Yet, it becomes evident that he falls short of crafting a satisfying resolution, exposing a need for more careful attention to the script's coherence and pacing. While Farooki is undoubtedly a seasoned filmmaker, his writing in this instance lacks the maturity needed to elevate the film to its full potential. Especially in the third act of the film.

One of the standout elements of "Last Defenders of Monogamy" is the remarkable performances of Xefer and Chanchal, whose on-screen chemistry breathes life into their respective characters. Xefer, in particular, shines brightly, delivering a nuanced portrayal that resonates with authenticity and depth. Meanwhile, Chanchal brings his trademark charisma to the role, further enhancing the film's appeal.

Despite these strengths, the film is marred by its reliance on lackluster humor, with many of the dialogues and jokes falling flat and failing to elicit genuine laughter from the audience.

In conclusion, "Last Defenders of Monogamy" offers moments of enjoyment and entertainment, thanks in large part to its engaging premise and talented cast. However, its shortcomings in the third act, coupled with its reliance on stale humor, prevent it from reaching its full potential. While Director Farooki demonstrates his prowess as a filmmaker, there is room for improvement in his approach to writing and storytelling. Nonetheless, the standout performances of Xefer and Chanchal ensure that the film is not without its merits, providing viewers with memorable characters and moments amidst its narrative shortcomings.

Cow dung content.

Monogamy is like trying to keep a single pet pineapple happy for the rest of your life. You water it, you talk to it, and you make sure it gets plenty of sunlight, but it never really talks back-unless you've had a bit too much lemonade and start imagining it discussing philosophy with you.

In the world of monogamous relationships, two people are like synchronized jellyfish, bobbing through the sea of life in perfect harmony. They spend their days glowing in unison, pulsing with shared energy, and confusing the occasional passing octopus.

On Saturdays, they attend the weekly Spaghetti Hat Parade, where everyone shows off their latest pasta-based headgear. It's the one day of the week when monogamy truly shines. Couples get to demonstrate their remarkable skill at forming intricate knots using only linguine and love.

Meanwhile, monogamous houseplants live in tiny clay pots, all lined up in a row on a windowsill, chatting about their favorite types of soil and debating whether or not it's appropriate for cacti to wear socks. The ferns usually argue that it's all about keeping the leaves green and hydrated, while the succulents are more interested in the philosophical implications of photosynthesis.

In a monogamous relationship, you might find yourself discussing the latest trends in waffle shoes, where each shoe is made from an actual waffle iron and comes with a bottle of syrup for emergencies. Partners learn to compromise: one person likes to wear socks with sandals, the other insists on roller-skating to work. Yet somehow, they make it work, sharing an ice cream cone on their evening stroll through the park.

Monogamy, in this fantastical sense, is all about discovering the joy in the small things: like finding out your partner can juggle six flamingos while standing on a unicycle, or realizing that you both enjoy counting the freckles on a giraffe's neck. It's a world where love is as bizarre and delightful as a rainbow-colored lobster playing the ukulele, and where even the most nonsensical moments lead to shared laughter and understanding.

I may not expect you to tell a story when you are making something non-traditional, non-linear, or divergent. But in any case, otherwise, I will always expect you to tell a story, no matter how complicated or straightforward. And when you are telling the story of our everyday lives, I will expect it to be believable. I am sorry, but Farooqi's efforts seem to miss these things. He did not, or could not, tell us a convincing story.

Without a doubt, polyamory is a complicated concept. It is even more complicated in Bangladesh due to family and social ties. As a result, cheating on your partner or fiance requires proper social justifications, which can eventually portray psychological breakdowns correctly, and the audience becomes convinced that humans are either erroneous or pathological cheaters, depending on the circumstances. But I am not sure this film could make such connections, and I can not say I fully understand whether I should support or blame any of the characters because the script did not tell us much. Such a complicated thing with such limited backgrounds. Why? I do not know. Lamia's side of the story was criminally ignored, and Shafqat's story was equally unjustified.

To be honest, a script like this should not be produced.

I have just finished watching "Last Defenders of Monogamy (2024)". I must say it's one of the best work from Chorki & Farooki of this year.

Direction, Cinematography & Music compositions were the best thing so far in this show. Farooki always has his own way of story-telling in his ever tale of movies and I loved it obviously.

Xefer did quite excelled in her role as this was her first time in the film industry. I would definitely give her 4.5/5 for her performance.

And Chanchal's acting, comic-timing was awesome. Chanchal's son, Shudda also did a good job on his small role.

Samina Husain Prema, who played the role of Chanchal's wife in the show, surely deserves some clapping.

The film stumbles upon a sudden small twist about having extra-marital affairs & how it gets revealed. The screenplay is fast enough to get you hooked to the screen, that's for sure.

The movie ends with the song "Manush Keno Erokom" by Ahmed Hasan Sunny, surely it had some nice syncing with the scenes. I loved that part specially.
